Al Bureij Refuge Camp Gaza, June 19 2007
On Wednesday Israel pledged to allow minimum shipments of fuel and 33 truckloads of food into Gaza. On Thursday the ritualistic behavioral Israeli government changed their mind set, the pledge to ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Urgent deliveries of fuel and food was turned away again at the borders.In addition the Israelis blocked the delivery of United Nations food aid intended for 750,000 Palestinian refugees. Also twenty European consuls whom had planned to visit Gaza were denied entry at the Erez border crossing. Aid workers were also turned away by the border to Gaza, and medical patients were prevented from leaving Gaza Strip for treatment.

The chief operator of the border crossings department in Gaza,said that the agency had been informed by the Israelis on Wednesday evening, that their intention is to open the Kerem Shalom crossing to permit 33 truckloads of food to cross the border.

At noon on Thursday the Israelis had a change of mind, the urgent delivery of food aid to Gaza was turned away. John Ging, the director of UN operations in Gaza,has long warned the international community of an impending "humanitarian disaster" if the Israelis embargo of food supply and other urgent shipments continues.Ging said in a Gaza press conference. "

"We cannot describe the situation in Gaza Strip except as a terrible and terrifying one.There are 750,000 refugees who depend on what we offer them in food supplies, and the Israelis are preventing us from distributing these supplies," - John Ging concluded: "the Israeli closure, collectively punishing civilians, is a violation of international law. "

Trucks intended to be ship supply by UNRWA, ( the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees)are loaded with milk,sesame oil,canned and frozen meat, were denied to cross the border. UNRWA announced in the beginning of the week that its food program would be forced to shut down if the shipment of food was not delivered by Friday.

In a pledge Wednesday, to the world, Palestine Free Voice urged the International community to start serious actions on all levels, to force pressure on the Israeli government to open up the borders for shipment of food and fuel.Cease the embargo to prevent the pain and suffering caused in ill will,to spread and permeate throughout Gaza Strip, and culminate in a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe.

Thanks to many Internet based news-media outlets and UN observers, whom noted the urgency in our pledge acting accordingly and swiftly, to bring an end to the suffering, aid to the starving Palestinians in Gaza Strip. However, the aid arrived in the twelfth hour, and it seems, Israelis attempts are evil ambitions to thwart international aid shipments to enter the Gaza Strip, the border crossings are now closed again.
